“So which is real, the Ptolemaic or
Copernican system? Although it is not uncommon for people
to say that Copernicus proved Ptolemy wrong, that is not
true….one can use either picture as a model of the universe,
for our observations of the heavens can be explained by
assuming either the earth or the sun to be at rest." - Stephen Hawking

1. all motion is relative
2. all dynamics is relative
3. all kinematics is relative

how do we prove (re: what are the experiments that have been/ can be done to prove) that the earth moves
1. at all
2. in relation to and around the sun
3. in relation to the universe, whether it spins

if you go against the 3 postulates then explain it to me please thank you

Experimentally? Foucault pendulum. Alternatively, any other effect relating to Coriolis, Euler and centrifugal force.

>>16142209
From the retarded book.:
>This particular logic, however, doesn’t prove that the Earth is rotating. One can begin the critique by asking this simple question: if the pendulum is constantly swinging in the same plane (while the Earth is rotating beneath it), what force is holding the pendulum in that stationary position? In other words, if the plane of the pendulum is stationary, with respect to what is it stationary? This is understood as an “unresolved” force in physics. The only possible answer is: it is stationary with respect to the rest of the universe, since it is certainly not stationary with respect to the Earth. With a little insight one can see that this brings us right back to the problem that Einstein and the rest of modern physics faced with the advent of Relativity theory: is it the Earth that is rotating under fixed stars, or do the stars revolve around a fixed Earth? As Einstein said: “The two sentences: ‘the sun is at rest and the Earth moves,’ or ‘the sun moves and the Earth is at rest,’ would simply mean two different conventions concerning two different coordinate systems.” As such, it would be just as logical, not to mention scientifically consistent, to posit that the combined forces of the universe which rotate around the Earth are causing the plane of the pendulum to rotate around an immobile Earth. In other words, in the geocentric model the movement of the pendulum is not an illusion – it really moves. According to Einstein, there is no difference between the two models.

Which is nonsense. Rotation isn't relative according to Einstein. If you try to do physics in a rotating frame you will get a fictions force, the centrifugal force, which has no logical origin in that system. The origin is that your frame is rotating.

The Earth is definitely rotating. Once you admit that, and that the planets orbit the Sun, then the rest of geocentrism is just retarded.

I’m studying a simulation of schizophrenia. How do you most often detect simulants? Why it is often written that it is difficult for people to portray the negative symptoms of schizophrenia, if it is mostly close to depressive, requires a lack of activity. It’s easy, just lie in bed all day, isn’t it?
No one for The Structured Interview of Reported Symptoms [SIRS; Rogers et al., 1992] or M test?
It’s all in the scientific interest.

Major depressive disorder is quite similar to schizophrenia in severe disease. Sometimes even patients with hallucinations.
>This is going to be exceedingly difficult in the case of schizophrenics.
A friend of mine was diagnosed with f25 just lying in bed and having little contact with other patients.
>Negative symptoms in schizophrenia aren't close to depression, they're close to autism which until relatively recently, was the psychiatric term for the cluster of negative symptoms in schizophrenia. It involves aphasia, speech impediments and/or disturbed patterns of speech, poor motor control as well as difficulty in reacting properly in social situations, inability to make eye contact or communicate emotions. It's linked to both akathisia, a condition brought on by the neurotoxic properties of anti-psychotics given to schizophrenics and the consequences of viral infections of the brain (think of meningitis and other infections that destroy, usually, parts of the frontal lobes). Prescription drugs and viral infections such as measles or rubella, before the age of two, are also strongly linked with the onset of classic, especially regressive forms of autism.
idk most difficult to simulate seems to be speech impairment and reasoning, but I’ve seen schizophrenics who don’t have it.

They're both labels based on superficial diagnostic criteria. Of course, severe depression is going to be similar to schizophrenia because someone with severe depression is meeting many of the criteria for schizophrenia, independently of "having schizophrenia".
It's the same thing with every generic retard, be that downies or fetal alcohol kids, meeting the criteria for autism and ADHD. In medicine, you're not supposed to diagnose someone with a purely descriptive label when the cause of the issue is already known. But in psychiatry, no one cares. That's why some zoomers have 8 different mental illnesses on their permanent record. The whole game is about cheating insurances and funneling tax payer money to shrinks, therapists and others based on fraudulent disability claims.

This is nearly 10 years of ramp up.

Meta got all those GPU's to build models to predict what reels to shovel down your gullet. Then they released the models just to be a spoiler on Microsoft. I mean, I'm thankful for it but they never would have released them if they had been in the #1 spot and could effectively monetize it.

Finding the local maxima on transformers will be explored quite extensively but LLM's existed before transformers and it is almost centrally not the best possible way to reach AGI. It's still unclear just how far longer training, larger context windows, rag and agents will get us. Probably you though enough agent like behavior at it and you can hammer this shit into a functional AGI.

The brain has 100 Trillion synapses, but you really only need less than an eighth of that for consciousness. And those synapsis run at a dismal 1hz to 200 hz, to run consciousness you probably only need like 20 watts in a flesh computer.

These models are trained on hundreds of lifetimes worth of data. Meanwhile a kid can learn to speak in like 3 years of training data.

tire wear was calculated into the equation

EVs are the best. Sabine is failing to compare 1:1. if you were to choose gas vs electric infrastructure from the very beginning the costs of fuck knows how many gas stations + lifetime supply of gas (with trucks, also factor in the CO2 emitted by them + their construction) is way way way higher than running cables and some transformers (which last a lifetime).
in the grand scheme of things it makes way more sense to upgrade the power delivery infrastructure because that will be helpful not only for charging your EV. let alone that at some point fusion or some sort of nuclear my power everything, and a proper power grid would fit peachy.
what she is saying is that in her particular circumstance, in her particular town, with her particular income it makes sense to get a Hybrid.
smartest move is to upgrade the grid, by far. that costs money and big oil is shilling against it
it's like coming up with a super fast train that runs on cheap fuel and going all

our power use increased, and the grid is not something you do in the 1900's and abandon forever, you upgrade it to suit your needs, just like railroads, normal roads for cars, you upgrade/develop in time, that's how society goes, depending on our needs.
if you want to stop gas cars you need to move that service, power delivery to cars, to the electric grid, which means improving your fucking grid so it allows this major move.
